Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““That case, including Mr. Justice Burch’s dissenting opinion, is an instructive discussion on the trial court’s duty to make special findings of fact at the request of a litigant. While disagreeing in the application of the rule itself, the majority and minority opinions agreed that the special findings required by the code are those which deal with the ultimate facts upon which the rights of the parties directly depend and from which the correctness of the judgment can obviously and readily be ascertained, not the merely evidentiary facts upon which the ultimate facts in issue are to be established.” (p. 46.)”
